22 Chapter 22

Although Ah Yin was a mighty hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast, right now, she was just a fragile woman who was desperately holding on to her heart's belief.

Ah Yin's cool blue eyes gazed at their figures silently. The time seemed to freeze as she waited for their answer.

" Elder sister, don't cry. "

Although Yu Yan did not understand what was going on, yet it did not stop her from comforting Ah Yin. Little Yan hugged her and patted Ah Yin's back with her little hand.

Ah Yin was surprised by the little girl's comfort. It actually calmed her down a bit. This sudden action brought the two brother's back to reality.

" Ah Yin... " Tang Xiao hesitated, but in the end, he sighed and did not continue. He was the eldest young master of the Clear Sky Clan and had to bear the responsibilities. Although he still considered her as his sister, however, it did create a gap in their relationship. Tang Xiao could not feel the same way as he did about her before.

" What beast! What Human! You are my third sister. I love you, Ah Yin. " Tang Hao eyes were full of tenderness as he looked towards her. Ah Yin smiled after hearing him, and she instantly decided to choose him.

Tang Hao walked in strides and hugged her lovely body. He could feel her body trembling in his arms. Both of them forgot that people were staring at them.

" Let's get married, Ah Yin. " Tang Hao softly whispered in her ear.

" Un! " Ah Yin blushed and buried her face on his chest. Her heart started racing from the sudden happiness.

Ah Yin was nervous for a long time because both of them had proposed to her separately, and she rejected them. Ah Yin was afraid that everything would change after her identity was exposed.

" Elder sister, now you are disregarding me. " Yu Yan pouted and feigned anger on her face.

" Hahaha! " Yu Xiaogang burst out laughing after looking at his daughter's antics.

Both of them blushed after hearing them, and Ah Yin hurriedly escaped from Tang Hao's embrace; she held Yu Yan's hand and took the little girl with her as and started preparing the meal. Tang Hao also went back to bring more pieces of wood.

Yu Xiaogang could see the gloomy face of Tang Xiao, but he sat silently, minding his own business.

Tang Xiao's thoughts were a mess; he could not understand how his younger brother could promise without any hesitation.

Tang Xiao still remembers the time when he saw Ah Yin for the first time and fell in love with her. A crazy light flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Ah Yin and Yu Yan.

He felt it was the little girl's fault; otherwise, Ah Yin would marry him once they returned back to the clan. A killing intent flashed in his eyes. Tang Hao, who was not far from them, also detected killing intention thanks to his deathgod domain. He immediately rushed back.

Yu Xiaogang's face showed impatience and anger as he detected the murderous intention in the latter's eyes. Ah Yin was too happy that she failed to notice it, and Yu Yan was too small to notice it.

" Tang Xiao! Do you want to die? "

A fierce spirit power blasted off from Yu Xiaogang. His sudden outburst alarmed everyone. Tang Xiao suddenly remembered that Little Yan is Yu Xiaogang's daughter and could not help but curse himself for showing murderous intention in front of her father.

Tang Hao had returned in time to see everything. He frowned and thought to himself, " Why does elder brother want to kill the little girl. "

Yu Xiaogang almost instantly appeared near Yu Yan and, protectively stood in front of her. Ah Yin was also taken aback and could not understand what had happened; still, she stayed near Little Yan. She believed Yu Xiaogang would not harm her. Although she had only known him for a short time, she could feel that he did not have any wicked intentions towards her after knowing her real identity.

Tang Xiao understood his brother's gaze and said, " Hao, I think that little girl might also be a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast. Now that you are here, we both can capture her. " He clearly stated his intentions.

Everyone else including, Tang Hao, was shocked and strangely looked at Tang Xiao. Yu Xiaogang's anger rose after listening to him, and as he was about to step forward, Ah Yin caught his hand and stopped him.

Yu Xiaogang shot a glance at Ah Yin and sighed after looking at her pale face.

Tang Hao angrily asked, " Brother, are you out of your mind? You don't even know if she is a spirit beast or not? Even if she is one, so what? "

After hearing his brother's angry words, Tang Xiao completely lost it and said, " I am thinking of the clan if the next head gets a hundred thousand years spirit ring as their ninth spirit ring; Clear Sky Clan would become the strongest on the continent. "

Tang Hao's body trembled in anger; he could not believe what his brother just said. As he was about to speak, a hand patted his shoulder and stopped him. He turned his head, and his eyes shrunken in surprise because he could not even detect when Yu Xiaogang was already standing behind him.

Tang Hao, a spirit douluo, could not sense how Yu Xiaogang appeared behind him suddenly. How could it not surprise him?

Yu Xiaogang shot a look at him and said, " Don't interfere, or else I will kill you both. " and without waiting for his response, Yu Xiaogang walked towards Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao was not a bit affected by Yu Xiaogang's threat and still stood with ease, " Xiaogang, don't embarrass yourself. We all know that you are trash with a shitty martial spirit; who could not even breakthrough spirit-elder. " Everyone except Yu Xiaogang frowned after hearing him.

Tang Hao was already holding his hammer, and eight spirit rings emerged beneath him. He felt conflicted inside; on one side was his brother, but on the other hand, he couldn't let his brother harm Yu Yan because she was the major reason he and Ah Yin got together, and she was innocent.

Yu Xiaogang started absorbing the wisps of energy from the black pearl as he stepped forward. He absorbed the energy rapidly this time because of the spirit-core within his body.

Everyone on the scene except for Little Yan was shocked, and they dully looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was rapidly absorbing the spirit energy. Both Tang Hao and Tang Xiao could not comprehend the current situation. They incredibly looked at him and opened their mouth but could not say a word.

Yu Xiaogang observed everyone's reaction without any emotions on his face from Tang Hao's shock, Tang Xiao's disbelief, and Ah Yin's reverence.

" Yan'er, stay close to your elder sister Yin. Okay? " Yu Xiaogang said gently and concentrated on absorbing the energy from the black pearl.

" Thud! " Yu Xiaogang heard as if a barrier had shattered within him and his spirit-energy started revolving rapidly within his meridians. He could feel his body started enhancing, and Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes to comprehend the mysteries of the next chapter of the Devouring Codex.

Everyone felt that they had seen a miracle. They could not believe it even after watching it with their own eyes that Yu Xiaogang easily broke through the next rank.

Tang Xiao felt his face burning because he had just said that Yu Xiaogang was not even a spirit-elder, and the latter proved him wrong by breaking through spirit-ancestor.
